Comptroller-General Stoney paid a visit
to our town las. Saturday, the object Of which
was to correct the errors in the e1-Auoitor's S
and Treasurer's Offices end get
things generally in both the Treasur-
ers and Auditors Offices in shape, in
order that the County Treasurer night
effect his annual settlement We are proud
to know that Genera, Stoney found the pres
ent Auditors books in proper condition, but
regret that the books, vouchers. and other
papers Of beth Treasurer and e1-Audltor,
were by him found to have been badly Kept
and in such confused condition as to pre-
vent the usual annual settlement We have
made an investigation ourselves, and find
such to be the case, as the records show.
Gen, Stoney ordered the ex-Auditor's books
sent BY express to Columbia. that his expert
might investigate and prove them, and as
soon as this is done we presume settlement
will be made.
After long period in which to ponder
upon our remarks of last winter in regard to
the bad bookkeeping in the Court house.
our neighbor, the Times, condescends to
come out in a leader under the caption, bad
Bookkeeping the Cause Of the Confusion. :"
Holy Mother Of Moses! Did We ever dream
that our always COtIeCL W contemporary
would "cave in" at the oppotune moment.
and pour blue ruin upon the unfortunate
bad book-keeper, and that too, after calling
US a '.blockhead" because we didn't ''see
through glass darkly," as its editor did ?
We were then in possession of almost as much
information as We now have in regard to the
bad bookkeeping" in question, but con-
cluded that time would tell the tale, and
that our esteemed contemporary would hang
itself as soon as it got enough rope. We
have not been disappointed, as Its leader Of
yesterday has done the work.
We could at this writing give our readers
considerable information in regard to the
matter in question--not from ''rumors" but
fnotn the books of record-but as the matter
is ander investigation by the proper tribun-
al we do not propose TO anticipate its action
in any shape or form, and will simply await
further developments. We promise our
readers to keep them posted--correctiy post
ed-and they may depent upon it that The
Enterprise will chew to the line, let the chips
fell where they may" We have no axe to
grind. We are influenced by no party sect
OF creed. We are simply actuated by Dem
ocratic principles, and shall see to it that
justice is done though the heavens fall, and
that that justice be tempered with love and
merey.-EatapriSe.

There is no living man loved more
at the South than JEFF Davis, the ex-
chieftain of the dead Confederacy and
there is no man despised more thor
oughly at the north, than he. For this
reason let him stay III peace at his
home, Beauvoir, Mississippi, where
he will be comparatively free from the
attacks OF his enemies, enjoying the
veneration and love of the whole South
Our homage is the pure devotion OF
the heart, not to be expressed in pub
lie ovations, and too sacred to be man
ifested this way. Our old hero is the
livi, g head and representative OF the
Southern Cause in the Civil War. In
this character he is watched with a
Jealous eye by the North, and every
public demonstration in his honor,
bares his defenceless head to the at
tacks of his enemies, tbs severe and
abusive criticisms of tie greater part
Of the Northern press Bring him IN
to public notice and he necessarily
revives those bitter issues fast dying
out, and the surest way to defeat the
President in the next election, is to
associate him with JEFF Davis in his
tour through the South. Rebellion
and indifference to the knowledge OF
this fact will only be the worse for US.
At his home we can love JEFF Davis,
and at his home we can honor him,
and honoring and loving him at his
home, can do no harm but is best IN
the present political condition Of the
country.

THE PLANTER A NECESSITY.

A class of people exists in Homo
lulu, made up of various grades,
which thinks that this city could do
very well without the sugar planter
and the plantations. They support
their belief by sundry arguments
what they consider arguments.
The strongest always comes first,
and they deliver it as an answerable
puzzler, great steam hammer to
hatten out everything it falls upon,
one hundred ton gun capable of
penetrating the most thickly armor-
ed skull floating around the streets.
1t ig let off in this way: "We did
without planters and sugar before,
and we can do without them now
what we have done we can do
again" indeed! you sucked your
mothers milk at one time and found
it sufficient to nourish and satisfy.
Could you do it now? Not much.
1t should be remembered that the

CUSTOM HOUSE REPORTS.

The quarterly report of the Col
leotor- General of Customs is out,
from which we deduce the follow
ing
The total value of the exports for
the quarter have been 81 GOA ,404.28.
Of this sugar comes first on the list,
valued at 81, 400, 7l9.2S, with rice
next at $147, 7G6.73. The balance is
made up by hides, bananas, goat
skins, ETC., etc.
The comparative table of exports
for nine months of 1886, with a cor
responding time for 1887, shows a
decrease in sugar of 4,998, 1925
pounds, and an increase of 5,401,-
715 pounds of rice, while In other
commodities there was an increase
in everything except hides, goat
skins and sheep skins, they showing
decrease of $50, 2,261 and 2,2l4
respectively.

that duration. The Bandmaster and
the Band are fairly end fully emit

hard and steadily, early and late,
and on all public occasions, and now
they deserve rest. The Band is
one Of those institutions which Hos
nolulu could not do without. Criti-
cised, to be sure, 1t occasionally is.
The music is too loud for some and
too gentle for others. The selec-

the MINISTER'S EXPLANATION,

EDITOR BULLETIN Since return
ing from Kauai, my attention has
been called to certain comments in
your paper relative to the furnishing
of information to your reporter by
the Interior Department.
You state that "a BULLETIN re-
porter applied for leave to copy the
report of the Lunatic Asylum Com
mission and was refused by the
Minister Of the Interior. 1t had
been sent to the Gazette" and
should first appear in that paper.
lie likewise refused permission to
apply to the Gazette" for the use
of the manuscript"
AS matter of fact, your reporter
asked for the report, and ] replied
that it had already been handed TO
the Gazette. THIS is what you
call refusal to be allowed TO
copy the report.
lie then asked if he might copy
it at the Gazette Office. | replied
that that was entirely between him
and the Gazette people, but that |
presumed as they had it, they would
prefer to publish it first. This is
what you call refusal of permission
to apply TO the Gazette" for the
use of the manuscript.
As TO the time Of day when the
report was given to the Gazette"
the statement that the BULLETIN re-
porter called at IL and the Gazette
reporter at $3.50 are both correct.
The explanations as follows;
The report had been received
several days before, and laid on the
table for publication.
The Gazette" reporter had been
calling at the Office for items nearly
every day. while | had not seen the
BULLETIN reporter for several weeks.
The person who was in the habit of
coming for news was therefore nat
urally in my mind, and l intended
TO give IL to him the first time he
came. He did come but ] forget to
give it to him.
When the BULLETIN reporter came
in ! was very busy, and when he
spoke about the report, | was under
the impression that | had already
given it to the Gazette" reporter,
as / had previously intended to do.
Later in the afternoon | came across
the report and gave it to the "Ga-
zette" reporter when he came.
admit that you have the oppor-
tunity 10 make a point against me
if you choose to do so; but the mis-
take was through inadvertence, and
not through any desire to prevent
your newspaper from obtaining the
report first.
| would say further that all pro-
ceedings of public interest in chis
Department which can properly be
made public can be ascertained at
any time by any responsible reporter.
Yours, &C.,
LoRRIN A. THURsTON.

day was not here before the planter,
and is simply the creation of the
plantations. Had it not been for
the planters there never would have
been the employment in Honolulu
to attract the population. Besides,
the smaller number which was here
was employed and supported through
the whaling feet. Hundreds OF
whalers called annually for supplies,
and to discharge oil and bone for
shipment around the Horn. This
gave employment and means OF
revenue to ship carpenters, boat
builders, store keepers, and others.
But the whaling fleet is no more,
What would the people of Honolulu
have done after the withdrawal of
the whalers, if the planters had not
stepped in? They would have been
forced to pack up and leave the
country. As sugar became a much
greater industry and a greater
source of wealth than oil and bone,
u proportionateIy greater population
was created by it. How many
white laborers, or mechanics, or
business people, or professional men
could find means of subsistence in
Honolulu il the sugar plantations
ceased operations a very few in
deed. Carriage factories, planning
mills, machine shops, the foundry,
the steam navigation companies,
the printing offices, the business
places, etc., are all directly or in
directly dependent on the planter.
Pray show how they can subsist
without him. The assertion that
something else would supply the
place of sugar is assumption with
out proof. Name the industry or
industries which are to serve in its
stead. All those which have been
advocated as feasible and adapted
to the country can, at best, amount
to little for years to come. Our
sugar is worth to us eight or nine
million dollars annually. With STIR
ring enterprise and the most liberal
expenditure, and under the most
favorable circumstances, this amount
could not he possibly made up from
all other sources combined for many
years TO come. In the meantime what
should we do? There is no getting
around the fact that we cannot do
without the planter, and from this
the rational conclusion to reach is
that every possible facility should
be afforded that gentleman by the
Government for the development of
his industry. and no unnecessary
burden imposed on bis enterprise.

THE REGULATIONS OF A CLERK IN

THE MONEY ORDER DEPARTMENT.
The other day an old woman, bent
with age and the weight of a big
basket, presented an order for pay
ment at the Post Office money order
department. She had showed it into
every window on the row before she
came to the right one.
"You must sign your name to this
first" said the clerk, sliding back
the sheet of blue paper.
"Oi can't write, sor," replied the
old woman.
"Well, then, what's your name?"
"Biddy."
81 mean your full name"
Bridget"
The clerk began to get vexed.
"My good woman" said he, "can't
you tell me both your Christian
name and your surnameY"
ITO be shure OF cam"
"Why don't you tell it, them"
"Why didn't We ak me that at
first? Me name is Bridget O Brien."
"That isn't the name in my letter
of ADVICE continued the clerk,
looking rather puzzled. "Who sent
you this money!"
"Me husband, sor."
"And what's your husbands
name?"
paddy Muldoon."
"Then your name is Bridget Null
DOOM"
"'Tis, sor: it be that be mar
rage"
"Where do you live, Mrs. Null
DOOM"
"On the sicond llure, sor."
A long line of people had now
formed at the window and the clerk
gave up the old woman as bad
case. He signed her name to the
order and then poked the handle of
the pen through the little brass
bars. ''Touch the pen, ma am"
said he.
Mrs. Muldoon had been very pa
tient heretofore, but when the clerk
showed the pen at her che thought
he was trying to have little fun at
her expense. She was vexed, espe-
cially when she noticed the harassed
young man smile painfully at two
pretty girls hard by. "Git away
wild yer tricks" she exclaimed an
grily," can don't try emmy uf yer
tomfoolery wild womun ould enuf
